Traditionalist Catholicism

Traditionalist Catholicism is a way of practicing the Catholic faith that believes in following the traditional teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. Traditionalists try to follow the way the Church did things hundreds of years ago, rather than the changes that have been made since then. Traditionalists don't often go to the modern Catholic Church, but instead attend churches where the traditional ceremonies and rituals are still performed. Traditionalists also often reject certain changes to the Church such as modern versions of the Mass, new interpretations of Catholic teachings, and changes to the Church hierarchy.
